Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for processing pharmaceutical data. More particularly, the present invention pertains to a system that maintains the confidentiality of a patient's identity information associated with the pharmaceutical data being processed.
- the data being processed is not limited to pharmaceutical information. That is, the present invention has applications in numerous fields, such as law, finance or any other field that requires confidentiality.
- Pharmacy-based medication compliance programs remind patients when their prescription, as written by their doctor, needs to be refilled and provide patients with information about medication usage, potential side effects, and precautions.
- Such programs are implemented by providing patients with mailed communications from their local pharmacists at specific intervals during their prescription therapies (e.g., prior to refills coming due).
- Such pharmacy-based medication compliance programs have proven to be successful at increasing the rate that patients adhere to their physicians' prescribed instructions across multiple therapeutic categories. Some programs have demonstrated increases in compliance on the order of 50% or greater.
- pharmacies frequently enlist the assistance of outside parties to implement compliance programs.
- Compliance programs help patients to follow their physician's instructions. Without compliance programs, only about half of all prescriptions written each year are taken correctly. The other half are taken incorrectly, by patients who are “non-compliant” with their doctor's prescribed instructions.
- the term non-compliant is a catch-all phrase referring to any deviation from a prescribed pharmaceutical regimen, including: over-dosing/taking medication too frequently, taking medication at incorrect times of the day, under-dosing and periodic drug holidays, sharing prescribed medicines with others, mixing medicines inappropriately with alcohol, tobacco, certain foods, and other prescribed or over-the-counter remedies, and failing to fill or refill prescriptions altogether.
- Pharmacists are in perhaps the best position to help patients adhere to their doctor's prescription instructions. Pharmacists are trained to answer questions about prescriptions for their patients and they are always looking for ways to better communicate with their patients. Systems presently exist to facilitate this communication using modem and cost-effective methods that support and reinforce the efforts of today's busy pharmacists. However, such systems require that confidential prescription information be provided to the third parties that are implementing the services.
- pharmacies are frequently required to provide patient prescription records to third parties for data processing and analysis. While the confidentiality of these records can be protected by contractual obligations between the pharmacy and the third party, the perception that patient confidentiality may be compromised could exist. Because of the significant health care value of pharmacy-based medication compliance programs, a need exists for a solution that allows pharmacies to implement compliance programs without any real or perceived violation of the confidentiality of patient prescription records.
- an object of the invention is to respond to the public debate surrounding prescription record confidentiality issues.
- This object is achieved by allowing pharmacies to utilize third party services to help them implement medication compliance services for their patients without ever providing confidential patient-identifiable information to the third party.
- patient-identifiable information contained in a patient prescription record is automatically replaced with a unique patient identification number, enabling pharmacies to generate an electronic file that can be provided to third party data processors to facilitate the use of medication compliance programs.
- the patient-identifiable information is re-united with the “patient-blinded” database files, used to generate communications from the pharmacist to the patient, within the pharmacy environment.
- the present invention enables pharmacies to address the serious health care problem of medication non-compliance in a manner that preserves the confidentiality of patients' private medical records.
- a system for processing data including specific identity information and substantive information.
- the system permits analysis of the substantive information to occur while maintaining the confidentiality of the specific identity information.
- the system includes a server and a data processor.
- the server stores the data and transmits the data to a data processor. Before transmitting the data, the server replaces the specific identity information with unique generic identification information.
- the data processor imports the data, including the substituted generic identification information, and analyzes the substantive information to obtain results.
- the data processor then exports the results along with the associated generic identification information back to the server.
- the server supplements the generic identification information with the corresponding specific identity information so that the results are associated with the specific identity information corresponding to the substantive information that is the source of the results.
- the unique identification information may be a name and an address.
- a local system that supplies the data to the server may also be provided.
- the results may be intervention types and timing and the server may receive the results and add the name and address to the results so that correspondence can be generated in accordance with the intervention types and timing for that name.
- the individual identity information is forwarded to a fulfillment house in a preferred embodiment.
- a system for processing data including specific identity information and substantive information.
- the system permits analysis of the substantive information to occur at a remote site while maintaining the specific identity information at a local site.

- the analyzing site analyzes the substantive information to obtain results and exports the results along with the associated generic identification information back to the local site.
- the generic identification information is combined with the specific identity information at the local site so that the results are associated with the specific identity information corresponding to the substantive information that is the source of the results.
- the data may be transmitted via a T 1 connection.
- the specific identity information may include a patient's name and address.
- a system for processing data including specific identity information and substantive information.
- the system permits analysis of the substantive information to occur at a remote site while maintaining confidentiality of the specific identity information.

- the analyzing system also resides at the remote site and receives the transmitted data, including the substituted generic identification information.
- the analyzing system analyzes the substantive information to obtain results that are exported, along with the associated unique identification information, back to the server.
- the server supplements the generic identification information with the specific identity information so that the results are matched with the specific identity information corresponding to the substantive information that is the source of the results.
- a method for processing data, including specific identity information and substantive information.
- the system permits analysis of the substantive information to occur while maintaining the confidentiality of the specific identity information.
- the method includes storing the data; substituting the specific identity information with unique generic identification information; and transmitting the data, including the substituted generic identification information and the substantive information to a data processor.
- the data processor imports the data, including the substituted generic identification information, and analyzes the substantive information to obtain results; and exports the results along with the associated generic identification information back to the server.
- the server associates the generic identification information with the corresponding specific identity information so that the results are associated with the specific identity information corresponding to the substantive information that is the source of the results.
- the method may also include the server transmitting the results to a fulfillment house. Moreover, the method may include the server processing the results and transmitting correspondence in accordance with the results. Preferably, the server cleans the data before transmitting the data to the data processor. The server cleans the data by removing undesired predetermined information from the data before transmitting the data to the data processor.
- the server and the data processor can be located at the same site or at different sites.
- a method for facilitating compliance while maintaining a patient's confidentiality within a pharmaceutical system including a plurality of local systems, a local server, a remote compliance system, and a fulfillment system.

- FIG. 1 shows an exemplary hardware architecture according to the present invention.
- a central mainframe computer 10 obtains data from branch offices BO.
- the mainframe is located at a pharmacy's central office and the branch offices represent the various stores within the pharmacy chain.
- the mainframe computer 10 typically periodically polls the branch offices to obtain the data, but any known manner for importing data may be employed.
- the branch office computers may call into the mainframe computer 10 on a predetermined schedule, or upon the occurrence of predetermined events (e.g., a fixed number of data records are created). In a preferred embodiment the polling occurs weekly and the mainframe is an IBM.
- any mainframe or high-capacity computer having an Internet protocol (e.g., TCP/IP stack) enabling file transfer (e.g., File Transfer Protocol (FTP)) capability can be utilized.
- TCP/IP stack e.g., TCP/IP stack
- file transfer e.g., File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
- the polling can occur at other intervals, such as daily or monthly.
- the mainframe 10 obtains the data via FTP in any known manner.
- the mainframe 10 forwards the data to an on-site server 12 , also located at the central office.
- the on-site server 12 is preferably a computer running at least one Pentium class processors. A second processor may be provided for redundancy.
- the on-site server 12 runs an operating system, such as Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, in a mirror, i.e., on its own disk drive.
- the on-site server also includes a RAID-5 or any similar array for data storage, access speed, and redundancy and a remote control board, such as a Compaq Remote Insight Board.
- the remote control board allows remote systems to control the on-site server 12 by permitting configuration and administrative interaction over Internet or WAN protocols.
- the server should be connected to a router. In a preferred embodiment, a Bay Networks ARN is employed. The router should have a serial interface.
- the on-site server 12 processes the received data, categorizes patient identity data and prescription data, and substitutes certain patient identity information with a unique generic identification (ID), while removing other patient identity data from any prescription data transmitted. Details of the processing and substitution will be described below with respect to FIG. 2 .
- the data, including the substituted unique generic ID, is then transferred to a data processing server 14 at a data processing center, preferably but not necessarily located remotely from the central office.
- the data processing server 14 has similar requirements to the on-site server 12 , except that the data processing server 14 does not require a remote control board.
- the server should also be connected to a router, such as a Bay Networks ARN having a serial interface.
- an embodiment of the invention having restricted functionality includes only the on-site server and hardware and software structures therein, while more extended embodiments include the signals exchanged, the data processing center and/or fulfillment house as well.
- Encryption can be provided for the data transfer.
- virtual private network technology is utilized to transmit the data.
- virtual private networks “tunnel” their own protocol and packets within standard Internet IP packets.
- VPNware's VSU-10 is preferably employed. The VSU-10 increases throughput and provides hardware encryption.
- a VSU-10 should be connected to both the transmitting and receiving computer.
- the data processing server 14 may initiate the export, or the processed results may reside on the data processing server 14 until the on-site server 12 polls the data processing server.
- all transfers between the on-site server 12 and the data processing server 14 are via T-1 lines.
- any transmission link may be substituted for the T-1 line, but preferable a wide band link (e.g., xDSL, frame relay, X.11, cable modem, etc.) is used.
- the data may be transferred via tape transfer, modem or FTP. It should be noted that any of the transfers previously or subsequently described can be via any of those formats or any other known format for transferring data.
- the on-site server 12 replaces the unique generic ID with the original personal or patient identity information and forwards the results, along with the original identity information and intervention information, to a fulfillment house 16 .
- the fulfillment house 16 receives the exported results via FTP from the on-site server 12 .
- the fulfillment house 16 also receives a pharmacy file that contains the address, phone number, pharmacy ID, and head pharmacist's name for each pharmacy in the compliance program.
- Each patient export record is linked to a pharmacy record enabling the fulfillment house 16 to merge the two files together so that every export record has a pharmacy address, phone number, and pharmacist associated with it.
- the link is created by cross referencing the pharmacy ID in the pharmacy file with the pharmacy ID in the exported results.
- the fulfillment house 16 generates correspondence in accordance with the results from the data processing server 14 .
- Exemplary data being transferred to the on-site server 12 from the mainframe 10 is shown in Table 1 and includes: a national drug code (NDC); the patient's name, address, phone number, date of birth (DOB), gender, and weight; insurance information; the pharmacist; the pharmacy filling the prescription; the prescription number; the type of illness; and information about the prescription itself. Not all of that information is necessarily transferred, but rather the preceding is a list of preferred data fields. Of course other information can be included.
- NDC national drug code
- DOB date of birth
- DOB date of birth
- weight insurance information
- the pharmacist the pharmacy filling the prescription
- the prescription number the prescription number
- the type of illness and information about the prescription itself.
- information about the prescription itself Not all of that information is necessarily transferred, but rather the preceding is a list of preferred data fields. Of course other information can be included.
- the NDC, patients name and address, pharmacy, and prescription number are required.
- the prescription information may include the number of refills prescribed, the number of refills remaining, the refill number, the date the prescription was dispensed, the quantity dispensed, the price of the prescription, the amount the patient paid for the prescription, the co-payment amount, the number of days supply dispensed, and dosing instructions.
- the number of refills prescribed, the number of refills remaining, the refill number, the date dispensed, the quantity dispensed, and the days supply dispensed are required fields. Of course other information can be included. Referring now to FIG. 2, an exemplary process that executes on the on-site server 12 , before processing by the data processing server 14 , is now described.
- a database program is required to be operating on the on-site server 12 .
- the database program is Microsoft SQL version 6.5 or higher, but any database would suffice.
- a Bulk Copy Program (BCP) utility available from Microsoft Corporation, can be run.
- the data may be received in the specified SQL-type format, or the data can be entered manually.
- the data is placed into the database at step S 10 .
- the records are sorted by first name, last name, address, city, and state. After sorting, duplicates are deleted. A duplicate is any person having the same first name, last name, and address. The records are sorted and the duplicates are deleted in order to determine whether the record represents a new patient. Thus, at step S 14 the records are compared with a master ID table containing all patients previously processed to determine whether the patient is new.
- Cleaning the record includes searching for undesirable words, such as profanity, and searching for stray characters.
- the fields searched are the name fields and the address fields. Stray characters are deleted from a field. If an undesirable word is found, the data in the field is replaced with blank characters. According to a preferred embodiment, some undesirable words are: mother, father daughter, etc. These words result when a prescription is filled by the mother, father, daughter, etc. of the patient. Numbers are also deleted from selected fields, i.e., fields other than street address and zip code. The cleaned fields and the original fields are saved.
- the record including the cleaned fields, is inserted into the master ID table at step S 18 .
- a new unique ID is generated and is inserted into the record.
- a preferred method of generating unique IDs is to select the next sequential number.
- the unique ID could comprise the patient's initials followed by a three digit number, also generated sequentially. For example, John Smith would be assigned to JS001. If another John Smith, or a Jean Smythe is encountered, the unique ID would be JS002 and JS003, respectively.
- Another way to generate the unique ID would be to employ random numbers. According to this system, random numbers are generated and assigned to each patient. After each random number is generated, the random number is verified to insure that it is unique. That is, the new random number is compared with all previous IDs to guarantee that the new random number is a unique ID.
- step S 19 all of the address fields are analyzed to determine whether all fields are present. That is, step S 19 identifies records that may not have correctly formatted data, for purposes of reporting to the pharmacy chain or other data owner or originator those records that should be corrected. If any of the address fields are blank, a flag is set indicating that the mailing address is invalid.
- an anonymous file is created including all of the prescription information and the corresponding generic ID. All personal information, such as the patient's name and address, are not included in this new anonymous file. Consequently, anyone viewing this new anonymous file should not be able to identify the patient that originated the record.
- the address validity flag is then inserted into a new “correction” file that contains the indication and the generic ID at step S 22 .
- the flag can be inserted into a field within the individual record.
- an indication that the mailing address is valid is inserted into the field or separate “correction” file.
- step S 30 data is received from the data processing center.
- the data includes several fields that indicate what type of intervention is necessary and the content of the letter the patient is to receive.
- An exemplary intervention type is reminding the patient that the prescription is expected to run out in the near future and that the patient should be refilling the prescription soon.
- the data arrives in a fixed length text file.
- the flat text files are moved into a SQL table using the BCP utility.
- the BCP utility uses the default export format file to load the text data into a SQL database table at step S 32 .
- the ID table is searched using the generic IDs as search keys.
- the corresponding identity information is identified and input into the export table at step S 36 .
- the identity information includes the patient's first name, the patient's last name, and the patient's address. The process repeats until each generic ID in the export table is associated with its corresponding identity information.
- a new text file is created at step S 38 .
- the new file contains all of the information from the export table including the identity information and the intervention information.
- the new file is transmitted to the fulfillment house 16 so that the appropriate correspondence can be generated and mailed.
- the fulfillment house 16 verifies the addresses, prints the letters, insert the letters into envelopes, and adds any additional inserts that may be required.
- the letter is mailed.
- mailing the correspondence include faxing, and/or emailing the correspondence, and/or telephoning the patient, and/or paging the patient. If an alternate is utilized in lieu of or in addition to mail, the appropriate information must be included in the initial data sent to the on-site server 12 . Obviously the additional information includes at least the patient's facsimile telephone number, and/or the patient's email address, and/or the patient's telephone number, and/or the patient's pager telephone number.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 exemplary processes that execute on the data processing server 14 are now described.
- the following describes one type of data analysis that can be performed on the prescription data (e.g., on the matched substantive information and generic or anonymous identity information).
- step S 50 data is received from the on-site server 12 .
- the data may be transferred via tape transfer, modem or FTP.
- the data arrives in a fixed length text file.
- the flat text files are moved into an SQL format using the BCP utility.
- the BCP utility uses the default import format file to load the text data into a SQL database table.
- a pre-processor is run against the data to check prescription dispense dates and currency values to see if they are in valid formats.
- the currency values must be integer, i.e., without decimal points and the dates should be in a known format, such as day, month, year.
- Simple rules include analyses such as confirming whether a drug is in a compliance program, checking whether the pharmacy that issued prescription is a valid pharmacy, checking the duration of a prescription, and checking whether any refills have been prescribed for the prescription.
- a drug is in the compliance program if it is a selected drug. In other words, not all drugs need a compliance program.
- a pharmacy may be invalid if the pharmacy has ceased doing business. Such a pharmacy may have been entered due to a data entry error.
- the duration of the prescription is monitored to make sure that the prescription is not extremely short or long. For example, it may take ten days to receive the first intervention, thus making any prescription for less than ten days irrelevant to the compliance program. Similar reasoning applies to prescriptions without any refills. In a preferred embodiment, all prescriptions are ignored if the prescription is for less than twenty one (21) days and longer than one hundred eighty (180) days. Records having errors are moved into the error table that can be exported to a text file using the BCP utility.
- step S 56 it is determined whether the prescription record is for a new prescription or for a refill of an existing prescription. If the record is for a refill of a prescription known to the system, at step S 58 the refill table and prescription table are updated with the refill information and the next refill due date is calculated. For example, the number of refills remaining is reduced by one.
- step S 60 the NDC and pharmacy status are validated. It is also determined whether the patient is known to the system. If the patient is not known to the system, at step S 62 patient information is added to a patient table. Exemplary information includes the gender and age of the patient, as well as the date the patient is first registered into the system and the zip code of the patient's address.
- step S 60 If at step S 60 it is determined that the patient is already an existing patient, the prescription is processed at step S 64 . Processing includes checking whether the new prescription is a substitute for an existing prescription. If the new prescription is a substitute, the prior prescription is suspended so that no more interventions will be sent based on the old prescription.
- step S 66 the patient is assigned to a group and a protocol. Groups are based on at least the specific drug and may also be based on a combination of drug, age, gender, and geographic location. If the patient is an existing patient, at this step it is confirmed that the patient is in the same group when the new prescription is for the same drug as the previous prescription.
- the patients are segmented into control group and non-control group.
- Patients in a control group receive no interventions and are used as a baseline to measure the effectiveness of the program.
- a patient is randomly assigned to a control group based on a ratio determined by the drug type. For example, drug A patients may have ten percent (10%) assigned to the control group, while drug B patients may have fifteen percent (15%) assigned to the control group.
- the non-control patients are assigned to a protocol.
- a protocol is the definition of the series of interventions the patient is to receive and is predetermined. There can be any number of protocols assigned to a group. If the patient is an existing patient, at this step it is confirmed that the patient has been assigned the same protocol, when the new prescription is for the same drug, as the previous prescription.
- Step S 70 Preparation of the refill table includes, for example, determining whether the prescription is a first time pick up. If it is a first time pick up, the refills number is set to zero. Then, the due date refill number one is calculated, thus indicating when a reminder should be triggered. In addition, it is monitored whether the refill has been picked up. The monitoring is performed by reviewing subsequent data transmissions. If the refill is not picked up, another reminder may be sent. After step S 70 the import process is complete.
- step S 101 the export file that will be sent back to the on-site server and ultimately the fulfillment house is consolidated.
- information is stored in a pre-export table.
- the information excluded includes dormant pharmacies, dormant NDCs, completed prescriptions, prescriptions determined to have a bad address, patients who have elected not to participate in the program, patients in the control group, and prescriptions that have been suspended.
- the prescriptions are linked to their associated refill information stored in the refill table.
- the export table is populated one batch at a time from the information in the pre-export table. Steps S 102 -S 106 describe exemplary batches.
- the first batch is processed.
- the first batch includes all drugs that can be grouped with other drugs in a reminder letter.
- the prescriptions are due to be filled within the next 30 days.
- any prescription satisfying this criteria will have a record added to the export table.
- the record contains all the information necessary for the fulfillment house 16 to generate an intervention.
- the second batch is processed.
- the second batch includes all prescriptions that are past due for a refill.
- a system parameter determines how many days late a refill must be before an intervention is generated. The parameter varies by drug. The intervention is a reminder that the refill is overdue and how important it is to continue therapy as the doctor prescribed.
- Custom reminders are processed next at step S 104 .
- a custom reminder is generated X days before a refill is due, with X varying from drug to drug. The reminder reinforces the importance of continuing therapy and that the current supply of drugs is due to be refilled soon. If the refill due is the last refill for the prescription, a reminder is added to visit the doctor to get a new prescription.
- step S 105 new prescriptions are processed. After a patient picks up the prescription, an enrollment kit is mailed.
- the enrollment kit provides general information about the program, gives the patient a chance to decline participation, and provides information about the drug.
- an export record is created at step S 106 .
- the export record is flagged as a telephone intervention.
- step S 107 After all of the batches are processed, at step S 107 all of the information is consolidated into a text file using the BCP utility.
- the final file includes interventions dictated by the protocol for each prescription that was assigned during the import process.
- the final file is exported to the fulfillment house 16 via the on-site server 12 at step S 108 .
- an object of the invention is to preserve patient confidentiality, access to the on-site server and to the data stored on the on-site server is restricted by a login routine.
- Three levels of security are required in a preferred embodiment, although more or fewer levels can be provided.
- the first level is for the local operator, the second level is for the remote operator, and the third level is for the data administrator.
- the local operator has authority to control the overall function and operation of the system, but does not have access to the data.
- the remote operator will often wish to administer the system from a remote site via the VPN and has the same access privileges. Only the data administrator has the ability to access the data. All access to the system or the data is recorded in system access logs. Additionally, any access to the data is recorded in database access logs.
- the data processing center can also be located at the same site as the on-site server.
- the data processing can occur on the on-site server, such as with two different storage devices having different levels of access to preserve the confidentiality. As long as confidentiality is maintained, the present invention is applicable.
- the fulfillment house is described as a separate entity, the on-site server can perform all of the functions of the fulfillment house transmitting all form letters that need to be sent in the form of a letter library, obviating the need for the fulfillment house.
- the server can merge the patient's identity information with the form letters and send the letters themselves. Such a configuration is still within the purview of the present invention.
- the procedure can be automated.
- the system can detect when new data has arrived. According to this scenario, the arrival of the data triggers the whole import process such that the resulting files are automatically transmitted.
